I agree with Vasco that we need a reasonable language.  The question
arises: how powerful a language?  Personally, I'm all for firing up a
python interpreter to really let people go wild, and just provide an API
for creating events.

The main issue with that is it would be hard to get the AI to understand
complicated events.  There's also a runtime worry (would it be too
slow?).
